    A great food truck at my local lunchtime market. There are both sweet and savory options, but I always spring for savory. The plate is slightly more expensive, but it's worth the peace of mind to avoid spilling while walking/transporting. I went back and got a strawberry lemonade and it was tart, sweet, and very refreshing. The wait time was minimal and the food was fresh and flavorful.

    Checked out this food truck at a local event. It was so good. Super tasty. The menu offers sweet and savory options. The staff were helpful and very nice. The food came out quick and it was delicious. I wish they had dairy free ice cream or sorbet options. Upside they did have non-dairy whipped cream. I'd order from here again.

    Buffalo Savory Waffle - 7/10 Very nice buffalo flavor, tangy and sweet. Good amount of chicken for what I paid for. I enjoyed the presentation and how quickly they made it. Wish they had a little more sauce. The waffle was nice and sweet but it didn't mix the best with the buffalo sauce.

    Went to Food truck Fridays , this with my dad and a few friends. I wasn't thinking too hard about what kind of food I wanted in this place popped out of nowhere and frankly, I wanted to give it a try. If you like interesting food, combos that work beautifully well this is the place to go. Their Mac & cheese savory waffle was amazing and definitely hit the spot after having a crazy and fun day. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're going to the Food truck Friday's at Idlewild Park

    Street Ice Cream

    Got the "Street" style bubble waffle cone which came with the following toppings: Whipped Cream Hazelnut Wafer Whole Oreos Crushed Oreos Marshmallows Chocolate Syrup Powdered Sugar The presentation was fantastic and superbly inviting, I think all the kids around me were staring in envy when I was eating this. I was expecting the bubble waffle to have the same consistency and texture as the hong kong style egg waffles, but unfortunately it didn't deliver to that level. Instead this bubble waffle was dense and more of a "pancake" than a "waffle". It was a bit disappointing. Price was $14.40 after tax as of June 2025. Service was quite speedy.

    This was after a couple of small bites. Very stingy with ice cream

    The first time we visited, we weren't expecting much--but we were pleasantly surprised. The waffle was delicious, the ice cream was excellent, and the whole combination left a strong impression. We had never had a waffle and ice cream combo quite like that before. Because of that, we actually went out of our way to come back a second time. Unfortunately, it just wasn't worth it. While the waffle was still tasty, the portion of ice cream was incredibly small. There was literally one strawberry, sliced into three pieces. We paid $17 for what ended up being mostly whipped cream and waffle. After such a great first experience, we were willing to pay the price again, but this time it just felt stingy and overpriced. To make things worse, the employee behind the counter looked like he had just rolled out of bed--oily hair and all--which didn't exactly inspire confidence in the place. Overall, we were disappointed. The inconsistency in both quality and presentation, especially after going out of our way to return, really soured the experience. Not sure we'll be back.

    Got a street cone, expected it to be a fresh bubble waffle considering it was near $15 after tax. Cone came out in 40 seconds, my gf and I were surprised. Tried it, the bubble waffle was hard and dried as hell. Def at minimum premade in the morning and left out all day. Ice cream and toppings were good tho. A bit stingy on the Oreos but flavor was good. Just disappointing. The bubble waffle has a good taste, and would be amazing and 5 star if they actually made it fresh to order, considering I paid hella of a markup.

    Classic cone

    Went to the food truck at Concerts in the Park. Soooooo good! I just got the classic but I can't wait to try all of the flavors!

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place! I found their food truck at the Enchant Christmas event and I was so drawn to the yummy and very large selection of bubble waffle desserts and foods. Their dessert is so amazingly delicious! I ordered the "Simple" which features their bubble waffle cone, ice cream, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar. I customized my order by adding strawberries and selecting cookies and cream for my ice cream. MMMM mmm! Delicious! The waffle cone paired so beautifully with the ice cream and strawberries. It was so satisfying and definitely worth trying if you're considering it! ALSO! The workers here were very kind and so patient. I watched as the lady cashier very nicely stood patiently while a giant family who insisted on being in line (while NOT knowing or deciding what they wanted yet *SIGH*) debated for literal minutes without even ordering, they just delayed the whole line while they argued amongst themselves.... LOL. Then after their indecisive debate they FINALLY decided on ONE dessert even though there was like 8/9 people there.. LOL. Kudos to you miss for having sooo much patience! Her patience was very impressive to me. I almost told them to please let other people go ahead because they were wasting everyone's time! lol. Anyway! She handled that great and took my order after with ease. My order was ready and delivered in literally like two minutes! Sooo super fast! The guy even came outside and handed my order to me directly. Thank you! I had no idea it would be ready so fast. Great customer service for sure. I think my order cost about $18 (after tip) and it was definitely worth it to try something new and very delicious! Highly recommended.

    Bubble Cone was one of the food trucks that catered lunch for my company's 2023 Family Day event held in West Sacramento. I had also seen the truck previously at the California State Fair and maybe a SactoMoFo roundup. Love the idea of both savory and sweet egg puff/bubble waffles and making them into cones or plates, how clever! From the Savory Menu, you get a Bubble Cone waffle with tender chicken pieces, green onion, crushed pepper, and a choice of sauce: Buffalo, Sriracha Ranch, Mac & Cheese, Chipotle Mayo, or Cheesy. Add Mac & Cheese costs $3. From the Sweet Menu, you first choose ice cream flavor (vanilla, cookies 'n cream, mint chocolate chip, or strawberry), then what style: Classic (whipped cream, hazelnut wafer, strawberries, crushed Oreos, chocolate syrup, powdered sugar), Street (whipped cream, hazelnut wafer, whole Oreos, crushed Oreos, marshmallows, chocolate syrup, powdered sugar), Sexy (whipped cream, strawberries, sprinkles, strawberry syrup, powdered sugar), Boho (whipped cream, green tea Pocky sticks, sliced apples, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, toasted almonds, cinnamon powder), Casual (whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, caramel syrup, powdered sugar), Artsy (whipped cream, Fruity Pebbles), or Simple (ice cream, syrup, powdered sugar). They also have Lemonades -- strawberry, watermelon, passionfruit, blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry. I went with the Buffalo chicken which I would call a "medium" spicy sauce. This was a fun spin on chicken and waffles, handheld then each bubble of the waffle you could tear off bite by bite. For dessert, I got the Classic with strawberry ice cream which was good. Wonder if in the future they might experiment with different flavor waffles (oreo, green tea, strawberry)?

    Chipotle Mayo and Classic Bubble Cone
    Ariana A.

    There are a lot of food truck events in the East Bay, and Bubble Cone seems to be a staple. There is a savory menu and a sweet menu, and the prices are the same across the board regardless of the flavor you choose. A cone costs $12 and a plate is $15. This was our first time ordering from here, but it was actually easy to walk around while eating the cone without anything falling out. We ordered the Classic and the Chipotle Mayo. The Chipotle Mayo had pretty decent sized chicken, and was actually my favorite between the two. We paid via touch less payment and although there were 2 other people ahead of us, our order came out in less than 10 minutes.

    What a delightful treat! The Bubble Hive specializes in sweet and savory waffle cones filled with everything from fried chicken to ice cream. I recently visited their first brick and mortar location off Arden way and it is very cute. They have indoor and outdoor seating complete with bulbed lights and umbrellas. They also have a variety of toppings. I ordered the sriracha ranch fried chicken egg puff waffle cone and it was delicious! The fried chicken was very crispy and flavorful and was complimented so well by their sriracha ranch sauce. And the waffle added a nice fluffy sweetness. The service was also above and beyond. I spilled my part of my first cone and they were so gracious about it and even refilled my cone to replace some of the chicken. Word to the wise: be very careful when you are receiving your cone to make sure the contents don't spill! I also got to meet the owner of the Bubble Hive and he was so friendly as well. I would definitely recommend checking out their brick and mortar location if you are looking to try something tasty and unique. Thank you Bubble Hive!

    The paint job and menu will draw you in. I've seen this food truck at a couple events, finally decided to try. They have sweet and savory options as well as drinks. There is a hand written note before you get the window about a vegetarian option. I didn't ask but was intrigued. The person at the window wasn't the friendliest to be honest. Just wanted me to order and move on. It was okay. More picture perfect than the best taste.

Of note, the salsa rojo at the self-serve condiment station carries quite the spicy sting. Next is the authenticity; they display their entire cooking process from homemaking the tortillas to serving the tacos fresh off the grill. It's occupied by two employees hustling away and running operations like a well-oiled machine. Despite arriving at the same time as two other customers, I had my order ready in 7 minutes. Last is the value. Part of what made my experience so enjoyable is only paying $12 for 4 exceptional tacos (Zelle accepted). Blink and you'll miss it. The stand is set up in the parking lot of a boarded up business immediately off the main road. Get ready to turn right or you'll have to make a U-turn.

Service was fast;however, I was surprised by the price of $33 for 1 pastor burrito, 1 pastor vampirio and 3 tacos. One of my gripe is if a place doesn't list their prices so I'm basing off my knowledges from previous reviews and I had assumed the tacos would be $3 each. But onto the food: Asada taco: beef, chewy and tough but substantial Pastor taco + pastor burrito: the best cut of meat. It was hot when I got it and it was very good. Well marinated. Pollo taco: you can probably skip this, the chicken is a little bit plain and dry Vampirio: similar to a tiny quesadilla. Two crispy tortillas with cheese + meat sandwich in between Overall the place is decent if you're getting the pastor meat. I do like the self service but I wish the price of the items were more transparent
